Passport Duty Free price in Dubai airport?

As an Australian with no access to the Passport from the local carriers (Telstra is apparently a non starter, and even though BlackBerry have confirmed Optus will carry it, Optus don't seem to know it), I'm looking to buy outright.

Luckily, I have a business meeting in Oslo next week, and I transit through Dubai.

Lucky devil!! I hear you on Australian telcos when it comes to BlackBerry. When the 9900 came out, I had to get mine from singapore....
Report back once you get your hands on the Passport in dubai, exciting!!!

I live in dubai and I can tell you that the dubai duty free prices for electronics are nowhere near "duty free" 99 percent of the time the phones are cheaper at any electronic store than at the airport. But I guess if that's your only choice.... expect it to be around AED 2600 and hope that it's one without Arabic symbols in the keyboard.

Z30 Pooooooooower!

That's a bummer. I was hoping I could ask my sister to buy it at Dubai duty free area, as she's coming to my country (Indonesia) in less than a month from Germany. With a hope that it'll be much cheaper.

Oh well, I'll just ask her to buy in Germany, or hope it'll soon launched in my country.

It is already available. But sold out everywhere. Got mine from Media Markt

The price is not less than AED 2,699/- = US$ 735/- in Dubai, availability is improving everyday and it will be even better over the weekend as many retailers will get their stock on Thursday or Saturday (18th Oct). Regards
